@@JunkerOnDrums Paul says he recorded some slide guitar for the song, in George's style. George's guitar is on this too, but I don't think it was the solo.
It’s amazing to me that a band that broke up in 1970 has such an effect on young people of today. A testament to the elemental and innovative nature of their music.
You got that right, Classical Music now has the best Classic Rock as a fellow forever beloved type of music that always will be listened to. Amazing what this song does to anyone who especially views the video, unreal how great they were to anyone exposed to them.
I was bawling watching the video. It's incredible! Thank you to Paul, Ringo and everyone involved in this exciting project! John, thank you for the beautiful voice, lyrics and title. You left a beautiful gift for Yoko to find and give to your "brothers" to finish. With technology it's November 2023. You are missed. RIP 🙏 JOHN AND GEORGE
Very beautiful. Difficult to keep the tears away. It’s a fantastic tune. Paul and Ringo did a wonderful job completing this gem. I want to thank them both. Also, thanking George for his contribution which was recorded a few years ago, as well as George Martins son for adding his part on the production. This song is very special…..I’ve been listening to the raw recording for a long time now, this version sounds as if all 4 were in the studio together…..tears coming back again as I listen to it……damn, we must find a way to build a better world…….peace and love……for everyone
Loved what you wrote here. I’ve been a total emotional wreck. Reminds me why the Beatles will always be THE band to beat all bands and their music will be the most remembered and loved centuries from now.
I've cried my eyes out and it took me back to time when the Beatles had new albums and we would listen to it non stop together with our friends. Many are now gone but "In my life I loved them all"
I am emotionally stunned by how good this song sounds. As a longtime Beatles fan, it is obvious how much Paul McCartney poured his heart and soul into the recording of this final, and perfect farewell. To my Beatle brothers; John, Paul, George and Ringo; I thank you for all that you have given us for all these years.
his grief for John is so obvious. It's been 43 years. Imagine having someone who would do this for you 43 years after your death. This is a love story.
My parents were beatle nuts and i grew up with the beatles in the background, being a metalhead i rallied against the beatles but now my parents are not here ,beatles music reminds me of them and ive learned to love them and this song is awesome
Some say that "Ticket to Ride" was first metal song; loud, angst-ridden, near-screaming vocals based around a repeated riff. Awesome record that was. Stayed up late as a ten year old in the darkness of my bedroom (1965) to hear that one when first released. It was different from anything they had done up until then and certainly like nothing I had ever heard.
Good song by Lennon elevated by brilliant performance , production and arrangement into Greatest . There is nothing like the “ Beatles Magic “ …. Wish it was never ending …
It's like john came back from the grave and wrote a song for his mates and the world that now and then he misses all of us and loves us. Thanks paul Ringo george and Peter jeff the martins and all involved. The chorus truly got to me. Love it
I listened to it 4 times in a row, but the first time I got goosebumps and teared up to johns CRYSTAL CLEAR voice, and Paul joining him. The song lyrics are so simple yet so deep, it reminds me of John’s song Love, with simple lyrics that hold so much meaning.
I was 10 years old when Ed Sullivan introduced us to The Beatles. My parents didn't get it. I just sat there like a deer in headlights. I had just witnessed the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs! I'm 70 now and it still amazes me! You guys got it exactly right. You understand. This is a true moment of LOVE, that which The Beatles did so well! Sir Paul was right! It is a truly beautiful Beatles Song! Thanks, guys. I really loved your take on this! It's a big day! 18:48
It is amazing, I've read so many comments and seen reactions from people of all ages. Over and over, people say they cried.I'm 55, fan since age 12, I bawled.
I'm an OG Beatles fan (I was 8 years old when I got my mind blown by their historic performances on the Ed Sullivan show). I'm deeply moved by the song and how John's voice and lyrics do seem to speak to us from the grave. But I"m equally moved by the deep emotional connection and commitment of so many young people who love the Beatles as I do.
I was 4 when they Vidited Sweden for their first international tour in 1963. I have vague memories of kids singing "Shlavshjojäjäjä" (She loves you) npt lnowong o word of English...
I was ten when the Beatles hit in America - bought the albums in real time - saw them perform in 1966. I am deeply honored to share this moment in Beatles history with you young artists. It’s wonderful to be here crying, longing, being affected together by this song. I love it the more I listen to it. I played it for my granddaughter today who’s a fan. She’s NOW ten years old like I was THEN.
I was 8 years old too, and yes, this does seem to be John speaking from the grave, thanking his bandmates and fans, and hoping he "comes through" and that we remember him, which of course we do and always will.
Me too! Eight years old. I saw a preview about their invasion in January of 64 on the Jack Paar Show ,not seeing the Beatles themselves or the music, just the crowd reactions in England, and thinking that something wonderful is coming!!
Probably already said before but anyways: I heard that the guitar bit was played by George Harrison himself when they were working on this very song back In the 90s but then gave up since the technical possibilities weren’t enough. So this isn’t just the last Beatles song, it’s also the least Beatles song where literally all four Beatles contributed. I am just in awe and so thankful that I can listen to this masterpiece and historic song.
As a Beatles fan since 1964 they could sing the phone book and I would melt YES even now SO for the remaining lads to do this it had to be so emotional but I pray also healing. Ringo was my....first Love back when we was all fab
Being that I am over 70 it was fun to watch you two experience what I used to experience with so many new Beatle releases. They were all jaw-dropping just like this new one is.
This feels like a love letter from the Beatles to the fans, a love letter from the fans to the Beatles, and a love letter from the Beatles to each other. What a beautiful song.
The only way to create something that conveys universal love, is to have extraordinary love between them. Lennon/McCartney had an extraordinary bond. What came out of it was songs about friendship and love that changed the world.
I think you nailed it when you said it was a new’style’ of song for the Beatles. It’s another evolution for the boys. A very astute observation, well done 👍
I'm 55, Beatles fan for over 40 years. I burst into tears just like you. For me, the sound of John and Paul, recorded 45 years apart, but still blending so beautifully, is poetic. The Beatles sang about friendship and love. This song is showing us that love is eternal. It might be John and Paul's love for each other, but it's a universal song that means something to each individual. That's what makes it a real Beatles song.
I listened to it a few hours ago and as soon as he started singing and the rest of them joined in, tears started pouring from my eyes. It was beautiful, meaningful, emotional... perfect ending!
isn't it incredible? I cried on and off all day. Over and over I see comments from people who instantly cried. The Beatles are still out there teaching us how to love each other. Can you imagine someone doing something like this for you 43 years after your death?
So great to see people have an emotional reaction to the song. I’m 40 years old and got into The Beatles when the “1” Album came out. I don’t have any friends my age who are into The Beatles as much as I am and freaking out about this song. Very frustrating.
No need to be frustrated. There are millions of Beatles fans your age all over the world. I'm sure there were a few people here and there who didn't dig Shakespeare either. But...here we are...SIXTY YEARS LATER!!
I listened when it first aired on the radio, I broke down in tears. All I can remember was receiving my first Beatles CD when I was 8 years old. It was The Beatles anthology vol 1. And then I started buying Beatles CDs, ok my parents did, but it drove me down a path of loving the Beatles. I really wish they would have also released carnival of lights and the 25 minute version of Helter skelter. But. It definitely was so many emotions running through me when I first heard it. And the fifth. And the 10th. And I'm pretty sure the 1000th time I still will be amazed
Great reaction. I broke down too, when I heard this this morning. I'm 56 years old and have been a Beatles fan since I was a kid. "Now and Then ..., I Miss You" John and George, I miss you now and then. Thank you to Yoko, Paul, Ringo and the production team that made this possible. It is amazing.
I'm 55 and was right there with you, in tears. Paul and John singing together in that perfect blend, 45 years apart. This is the love we need in this world.
4pm in Seattle. Crying and rejoicing at the technology (and obvious love, talent & time invested) by Paul and Ringo. This 75 year old, who saw the Beatles live in Philadelphia, on their first U.S. Tour 1964) is incredibly moved by this beautiful reveal, on this 2nd day of November. ❤
The Beatles meant so much to us as teenagers, whenever their new songs came over the radio, they had a huge impact. Then as individuals we also loved them for their philosophy and sincerity and humour, which were very influential.in the 60s and early 70s. It evoked for me a deep emotional response to hear John's voice again and the really good contributions from the others.
When the song hits "I miss you" the tears just started flowing and I felt a mixture of joy and sadness at the same time. I wondered was I the only one to feel so emotional about this. I see i'm not alone. I'm so grateful they made this happen. What an incredible gift.
For three days I've been reading comments, and holy moly. Over and over, people say they broke down in tears. I myself cried on and off for two days. This is literally WHY we love them.
@@lancelange9377 Can you imagine one of your friends doing this for you 43 years after your death? John and Paul had an extraordinary friendship. It is a love story. I think that's why we love their music so much. You can't make music that conveys love unless the love is there.
To hear John's voice so strong and clear is so incredibly moving. It makes me tear up immediately. And he sang it so perfectly that they could use it! This sweet loving musical man has blessed our lives immeasurably. Thank you John Paul George Ringo and Yoko! 🎉 🕉
Very grateful as a millennial because I never label myself for a specific generation I was born and still living but I am a Beatles fan and I can say first thought and reaction to the song was it left a big smile on my face, very touching and endearing. Respects to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for the effort and to George and John are still missed dearly but the music they brought to the music will never die. Also thanks to Sean, Yoko, Olivia and Dhani for allowing it to come to fruition.
"from the grave" was pretty accurate as this was very eerie, and very very emotional to listen to. Im still shocked by it, not sure how to describe how it has struck me. John's voice was something, as are the rest of the Beatles.
I Love Love Love this song!!!❤ I keep replaying it over and over! I mean you don’t get to hear a brand new Beatles song every day! “Now and Then” is a perfect title because it is truly the Beatles Now and they sound like they sounded Then! They were All Musical Genius Songwriters!!!! Thank You John Thank You Paul Thank You George Thank You Ringo!!!! ✌️✌️✌️✌️❤❤❤❤
When my brother texted at 4:00 a.m. to remind me the new and final Beatles song was coming out soon, my heart started beating fast, and I mean that literally. It's the way it beat when Free As a Bird and Real Love came out in the 1990s, the way it did when What You're Doing came on the radio in 1964 when we were driving across Nebraska or somewhere and I leaped over the seat, shouting to my parents to turn it up because it was a new Beatles song. Finally got out of bed after being unable to sleep for four hours and got onto the Beatles UA-cam page. I've listened to Now and Then nine times now, the last five with headphones on full. Midway, tears were streaming down my face. Partly joy because of the music; the strings descending quickly into the chorus and clearly hearing Ringo's backing voice. Partly sorrow because John and George left us far too soon. Partly regret that this is the true swan song of the greatest band in history, four guys who loved each other, changed the world of music forever, inspired generations to the power of music and love, and wow - what else is there to say?
Absolutely beautiful! So emotional! What an amazing and heartfelt song! So touching! It’s such a beautiful tribute especially that a band that hasn’t been together for 60 years is still having an impact in our lives. I’m so happy that I have had the opportunity to grow up listening to them and never turned back. There is no other band that could make this kind of impact on the world. I’m so lucky to be part of their music and their creativity. I often wonder if they imagined that they would be this powerful and impact so many. The song is so beautiful and so sad.
Instant floods of tears ... so moving. After all those years to hear John's voice once more. Thank you Paul, George, Ringo and especially Yoko for helping to bring this great gift to the world. John did make it through, all because of you. I was with my family in Adelaide waiting for The Beatles' motorcade to pass by in June, 1964. I remember getting a wave from Paul. It was the largest reception held anywhere in the world for The Beatles. Paul played again here last week to great acclaim. Their music will live forever.
Hello 👋 David here 😎 I been a Beatles fan and collector for over fifty years. I have the privilege of seeing the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, I was just nine years old, but I became a Beatles fan that night and still am. That Christmas my Mother gave me the Meet the Beatles Lp and I think I played it every day. Dad had gotten us a portable Stereo record player with two small speakers. I was lucky that my Mother thought to get me a Stereo Lp and it sounded fantastic on it for that time, I really liked how it sounded different in each speaker. As to the new song Now and Then I think it’s a great song, I feel it was a love song for Yoko, with a very nostalgic feel to it. I am so glad that the next generation of fans will keep the Beatles music going. I hope it is ok I thought the lady in your video is adorable and I think the Beatles would love you! ❤️
John put a note on the tape that said "for Paul." Paul believes it is for him. Giles Martin also believes it was for Paul. Literally everyone who knew John and Yoko in real life, including their neighbors, said they were toxic and horrible together; she controlled every part of his life, including phone calls, mail, diet, daily schedule. When he died he was underweight and malnourished.
I am head over heels, crying and smiling at same time . I am so happy and thrilled to experience the Beetles again ! Only the true sound could come from the guys that played together, I include Mr Lynne in that statement thank you forever!
I sure love hearing and seeing your reactions to this music. I was 10 years old when the Beatles first hit America. February 7, 1964. Seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show literally changed my life. He plugged me into some thing and became the background music to my life for the next decade. It’s so cool to see you guys get the music… The timelessness of it. Lennon’s death in 1980 is the first time I really understood mortality and …in a very real way… that grief never went away. So there’s a poignancy listening to Lennon’s solo voice and then the harmonic blend with Paul and Ringo’s again. I’m really happy to see how you guys get it even when you weren’t there in the mid-1960s when it all began.
I love the younger John voice mixing with Paul’s older voice emphasizing “now and then”. it’s a reminder that time marches on and every second of our lives is so precious. We need to stop our fussing and fighting, my friends, and give peace a chance! What a wonderful gift The Beatles are to us!!!
The beatles history is such an amzing journey and it is all about frienship and love , thats why we all got so emotional today. It s a wonderful feeling to hear paul and john singing together for the last time
yes and as wonderful as they keep getting new fans that were born after their breakup tribute to them as a group, those of us that were there from 1964 on it s a whole diffrtrnt level of emotion , how you they and we were, Ringo was my ...first love....... I smile no one understands, lol we really were Fab
Parece que fue ayer que era un niño de 6 años mirando a los Beatles cantando All You Need is Love, rodeado de mis hermanos y mi madre, ahora tengo 62 y estoy escuchando la ultima...😢
Just tuned in...great video. I bought the song this morning when it came out. Apple Music, of course. I love it, I mean, I really love it. I'm quite surprised just how good of a job they all did, quite impressed. I ordered the blue vinyl as well. Last Beatles' single, eh? Well, they certainly went out with a bang. All Beatles' fans should be rejoicing, but they are not. I checked out a couple of other sites and the hosts did not like it, too depressing. Like you said, there will always be "haters".......even some fans. I can actually see this song played at anniversary parties. Today is a good day for music. Think I'll go and begin listening to my Beatles' collection. Great show, people.
John sounds so fresh and vital in this song. The magic in this is truly wonderful...Another timeless classic from the fab four....Thank you Paul, thank you Ringo, thank you George...and thank you John.... truly 2023.....welcome back...a blessing for us all.....thank you for this heart lifting song. Who would have thought this possible...The upside of technology. Really deeply touched on so many levels....truly remarkable.
Listening to this song brings various emotions but this time around hearing it I thought of how John was taken from us too soon, so sad his life ended the way it did. His vocal on this song is typical John. He probably would have hated to hear his voice, always wanted it double tracked, but he sounds really good on this song. I'm old, got my first Beatle's single "I want to hold your hand" in 1963, now in 2023 the final single.
Both John and George were gone too soon but I get with John there was no accident, no sickness NOTH but dumb ass murder so how do you even begin to understand that . Makes me cherish the two remaining lads that much more
Now, in my mid-70s, one of my favourite things is to see younger people discover my generation's music. Mind you, no generation owns 'The Beatles'. They transcend time and space. Now and Then is a glorious exclamation point to the greatest band in history. I love that here, in 2023, we got the thrill and joy of another Beatles release that has hit number one with a bullet. I'm sad because this really appears to be the end now. "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make". Truer words were never spoken. John, Paul, George and Ringo...what else is there to say but...THANK YOU.
It seems when Beatles songs like Come Together and Get Back were first dropping, they were hitting my little transistor radio like one a week. On first hearing I knew immediately they were great. I remember thinking how long can they keep doing this. Then they grew on you. And oh my it's 2023 and out of nowhere this drops. They're still doing it. Too awesome for words.
Los Beatles demuestran que el tiempo no pasa con ellos esta canción es la muestra es como si John, George hubieran estado con ellos de manera física en el estudio tocando su magia y su legado permanecerá por siempre.
It is so pure, kind of haunting yet so subtle in its entirety. I felt emotsh too. Lennon's voice is so unique. Thanks Yoko, Sean, Paul, George and Ringo. The solo is George on his slide guitar ❤❤ Peace and love guys. Thanks for opening out to us. ❤
It warms my heart to see you both so moved by this. I saw the video today and sobbed. That is the magic of The Beatles. I'm so very happy for you, that you are able to experience a new song by them. This song is special because it is a love letter to Paul, George, and Ringo. It doesn't matter how it came about. I'm just glad it did and you were able to experience it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. Sending you so much Love. 💕💕💕🎸🎸🎸
A total emotional experience for me. Riveting lyrics and powerful production of such appropriate musical sounds. Very modern but very Beatles - could not be anyone else! And yes I was there for it all, I remember singing She Loves You on my way to school when it was No1
Thank you for doing this. I’m reading the Beatles Anthology book now and feel I know these guys. The book is very detailed into their lives. Great song, it’s John for sure. It’s got that Free as A Bird feel. Paul and Ringo should be proud.
When I heard it for the first time I was immediately fascinated, even if the sound is a bit more modern or contemporary. The Beatles, especially Lennon-McCartney-Harrison, simply know how to write wonderful melodies and arrange songs that touch you (longing, melancholy, nostalgia), sound fresh and are timeless. And the Lyrics... It's never just mainstream, it's always something very special. Pop music at its best and most unique. Thank you.
You two are so hip! True "Beatle People" as they used to call us. The magical mystery tour of The Beatles began when I was just a tiny tot, seeing signs posted along the roadways saying "Who are The Beatles?" and "The Beatles are coming". We had no idea what this meant! I told my mother, they spelled beetles wrong and besides, beetles are not who but what! We were all mystified months before we had ever heard "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or seen The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show! The mystery began there, continued with every appearance, every record, every event. And now, finally, the mystery ends with a most fitting song! I'll miss them..all of them soon!
Heard this four times now & I just realized the power of those opening lines. Because of the continuous work of the other Beatles & close collaborators John was able to "Make it through" into the future by helping John finish this song. I mean, in tandem with all of the other parallels of the title, this is just wow.
I was just in Liverpool and visited Johns childhood home on his birthday. I was in his bedroom all by myself. Very emotional. I have been a Beatles fan for 58 years.
I believe the time John recorded this song is about the time that he and Paul stopped showing animosity towards each other and rekindled their friendship. So I think he could’ve wrote this song for Paul. But also around this time John also formed a friendship with his oldest son Julian. Who during the Beatles hey day was hardly there for his son. So when John wrote this song was around a time when he was mending relationships.
The Beatles played Ed Sullivan on my 7th birthday Feb. 9, 1964! We warched it on our little black and white television 📺! I bought Rubbersoul in 1970 when I was 13 (!) Can you imagine? Put it on my portable stereo record player. We grew up with A Hard Days Night, Help, Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. They have been the soundtrack of my life. So wonderful 💖 Happy you guys are such fans! 🎉 "Now and Then/ Love Me Do" 🕉
I was born 12/31/63. I was born into the Beatles my favorite group of all time. My little ears herd them almost every other song was a Beatles song on the radio
The fact that yoko gave them those demos says alot for me. I thought the guitar was sad also. As a girl that bought their first album at age 9,way back int the 60s, means so much to me. Melissa Ward here.
This dropped at midnight on the Australian east coast. What a way to start a day. I am old enough to have heard the first Beatle song. I have now heard the last. What a trip this has been.
LOVE IT!! I prefer the AI creation of GROW OLD WITH ME but love what the remaining Beatles did here. I think Paul' 70's voice would have harmonized a bit better than what was on here but I dunno.. You could probably play a recording of John Lennon humming while sitting on the toilet and simply hearing his voice coming through the speakers again is like Heroin for Beatles fanatics like me..
Fab .... just FAB. 😊 I loved it staying simple, on track, and SO John .... wave after wave of melancholy ..... different from late Beatles opus which was more changed up and layered.

That's the miracle of Lennon and McCartney!
It's like john came back from the grave and wrote a song for his mates and the world that now and then he misses all of us and loves us. Thanks paul Ringo george and Peter jeff the martins and all involved. The chorus truly got to me. Love it
I listened to it 4 times in a row, but the first time I got goosebumps and teared up to johns CRYSTAL CLEAR voice, and Paul joining him. The song lyrics are so simple yet so deep, it reminds me of John’s song Love, with simple lyrics that hold so much meaning.
I love Paul's old man voice singing with John's 37 year old voice, sending love across 45 years.
I was 10 years old when Ed Sullivan introduced us to The Beatles. My parents didn't get it. I just sat there like a deer in headlights. I had just witnessed the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs! I'm 70 now and it still amazes me! You guys got it exactly right. You understand. This is a true moment of LOVE, that which The Beatles did so well! Sir Paul was right! It is a truly beautiful Beatles Song! Thanks, guys. I really loved your take on this! It's a big day! 18:48
I’m your age - the meteor indeed! Amazed that the magic keeps enveloping new generations. How blessed we are.
I was 10 also….need not explain
John knew only Paul could finish this song for him
Great song that’s why the Beatles were and always will be the greatest
I was 14 in 1963 when i first started listening to the Beatles and now 60 years later this brought a tear to my eye.

I was 8 years old too, and yes, this does seem to be John speaking from the grave, thanking his bandmates and fans, and hoping he "comes through" and that we remember him, which of course we do and always will.
Me too! Eight years old. I saw a preview about their invasion in January of 64 on the Jack Paar Show ,not seeing the Beatles themselves or the music, just the crowd reactions in England, and thinking that something wonderful is coming!!
Probably already said before but anyways: I heard that the guitar bit was played by George Harrison himself when they were working on this very song back In the 90s but then gave up since the technical possibilities weren’t enough. So this isn’t just the last Beatles song, it’s also the least Beatles song where literally all four Beatles contributed. I am just in awe and so thankful that I can listen to this masterpiece and historic song.
As a Beatles fan since 1964 they could sing the phone book and I would melt YES even now SO for the remaining lads to do this it had to be so emotional but I pray also healing. Ringo was my....first Love back when we was all fab
Me too. I'm glad ive lived long enough for this day to happen❤
Some of George's guitar tracks were used, but the slide guitar solo was recorded in 2023 by Paul as a tribute to George.
They used George's acoustic guitar. The solo is Paul, doing a beautifully tasteful tribute to George.
Being that I am over 70 it was fun to watch you two experience what I used to experience with so many new Beatle releases. They were all jaw-dropping just like this new one is.
Grew up with the Beatles, I am now 76 . The song evokes emotion and stirs memories. What a great song.
This feels like a love letter from the Beatles to the fans, a love letter from the fans to the Beatles, and a love letter from the Beatles to each other. What a beautiful song.
The only way to create something that conveys universal love, is to have extraordinary love between them. Lennon/McCartney had an extraordinary bond. What came out of it was songs about friendship and love that changed the world.
I think you nailed it when you said it was a new’style’ of song for the Beatles. It’s another evolution for the boys. A very astute observation, well done 👍
Now i have theories but i think it would be impossible
I'm 55, Beatles fan for over 40 years. I burst into tears just like you. For me, the sound of John and Paul, recorded 45 years apart, but still blending so beautifully, is poetic. The Beatles sang about friendship and love. This song is showing us that love is eternal. It might be John and Paul's love for each other, but it's a universal song that means something to each individual. That's what makes it a real Beatles song.
I listened to it a few hours ago and as soon as he started singing and the rest of them joined in, tears started pouring from my eyes. It was beautiful, meaningful, emotional... perfect ending!
isn't it incredible? I cried on and off all day. Over and over I see comments from people who instantly cried. The Beatles are still out there teaching us how to love each other. Can you imagine someone doing something like this for you 43 years after your death?
So great to see people have an emotional reaction to the song. I’m 40 years old and got into The Beatles when the “1” Album came out. I don’t have any friends my age who are into The Beatles as much as I am and freaking out about this song. Very frustrating.
I got into the Beatles from free as abird. I am socked. I have listened about 14 times. I cannot separate it
I am freaking out with you.
No need to be frustrated. There are millions of Beatles fans your age all over the world. I'm sure there were a few people here and there who didn't dig Shakespeare either. But...here we are...SIXTY YEARS LATER!!
The Beatles music transcends everything. They are healers.
That is so very true.
Its so heartwarming to see people of your generation appreciating quality ❤
Paul killed the slide and Ringo killed those drums ❤George was spectacular and John was magic ❤
It was heart warming to hear John's voice again....they nailed it...the greatest rock n roll band in the world...period...
I listened when it first aired on the radio, I broke down in tears. All I can remember was receiving my first Beatles CD when I was 8 years old. It was The Beatles anthology vol 1. And then I started buying Beatles CDs, ok my parents did, but it drove me down a path of loving the Beatles. I really wish they would have also released carnival of lights and the 25 minute version of Helter skelter. But. It definitely was so many emotions running through me when I first heard it. And the fifth. And the 10th. And I'm pretty sure the 1000th time I still will be amazed
Great reaction. I broke down too, when I heard this this morning. I'm 56 years old and have been a Beatles fan since I was a kid. "Now and Then ..., I Miss You" John and George, I miss you now and then. Thank you to Yoko, Paul, Ringo and the production team that made this possible. It is amazing.
I'm 55 and was right there with you, in tears. Paul and John singing together in that perfect blend, 45 years apart. This is the love we need in this world.
Im 56 too❤
@@RobynHurley-zp9sh my sisters!
Best band of all time, i've never got tired of them.
4pm in Seattle. Crying and rejoicing at the technology (and obvious love, talent & time invested) by Paul and Ringo. This 75 year old, who saw the Beatles live in Philadelphia, on their first U.S. Tour 1964) is incredibly moved by this beautiful reveal, on this 2nd day of November. ❤
The Beatles meant so much to us as teenagers, whenever their new songs came over the radio, they had a huge impact. Then as individuals we also loved them for their philosophy and sincerity and humour, which were very influential.in the 60s and early 70s. It evoked for me a deep emotional response to hear John's voice again and the really good contributions from the others.
That chorus is legitimate Beatles magic. An incredibly moving song with universal appeal. Now and Then we all miss someone. Thanks for the vid!
When the song hits "I miss you" the tears just started flowing and I felt a mixture of joy and sadness at the same time. I wondered was I the only one to feel so emotional about this. I see i'm not alone. I'm so grateful they made this happen. What an incredible gift.
For three days I've been reading comments, and holy moly. Over and over, people say they broke down in tears. I myself cried on and off for two days. This is literally WHY we love them.
It's such a beautiful thing and an absolute gift to us@@loosilu
@@lancelange9377 Can you imagine one of your friends doing this for you 43 years after your death? John and Paul had an extraordinary friendship. It is a love story. I think that's why we love their music so much. You can't make music that conveys love unless the love is there.
I can only imagine the depth of emotions. I truly think John would be so happy.@@loosilu
I cried when i heard it. Magical. Big hugs from Liverpool xx
To hear John's voice so strong and clear is so incredibly moving.
It makes me tear up immediately. And he sang it so perfectly that they could use it!
This sweet loving musical man has blessed our lives immeasurably.
Thank you John
Paul
George
Ringo
and Yoko! 🎉 🕉
Very grateful as a millennial because I never label myself for a specific generation I was born and still living but I am a Beatles fan and I can say first thought and reaction to the song was it left a big smile on my face, very touching and endearing.
Respects to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for the effort and to George and John are still missed dearly but the music they brought to the music will never die. Also thanks to Sean, Yoko, Olivia and Dhani for allowing it to come to fruition.
This is all Paul! he heard it in 1994 and could not forget it. The second the tech caught up, he insisted on doing it.
I've been a fan of the Beatles from the beginning. This song tears me up every time I listen to it. RIP JOHN, you are greatly missed.
"from the grave" was pretty accurate as this was very eerie, and very very emotional to listen to. Im still shocked by it, not sure how to describe how it has struck me. John's voice was something, as are the rest of the Beatles.
I Love Love Love this song!!!❤ I keep replaying it over and over! I mean you don’t get to hear a brand new Beatles song every day! “Now and Then” is a perfect title because it is truly the Beatles Now and they sound like they sounded Then!
They were All Musical Genius Songwriters!!!! Thank You John Thank You Paul Thank You George Thank You Ringo!!!!
✌️✌️✌️✌️❤❤❤❤
Haunting, yet dreamy, magical & inspiring❤
They had a huge impact in 60's to the end. The music and Lyrics are amazing all what you would expect from the Beatles.
When my brother texted at 4:00 a.m. to remind me the new and final Beatles song was coming out soon, my heart started beating fast, and I mean that literally. It's the way it beat when Free As a Bird and Real Love came out in the 1990s, the way it did when What You're Doing came on the radio in 1964 when we were driving across Nebraska or somewhere and I leaped over the seat, shouting to my parents to turn it up because it was a new Beatles song.
Finally got out of bed after being unable to sleep for four hours and got onto the Beatles UA-cam page. I've listened to Now and Then nine times now, the last five with headphones on full. Midway, tears were streaming down my face. Partly joy because of the music; the strings descending quickly into the chorus and clearly hearing Ringo's backing voice. Partly sorrow because John and George left us far too soon. Partly regret that this is the true swan song of the greatest band in history, four guys who loved each other, changed the world of music forever, inspired generations to the power of music and love, and wow - what else is there to say?
This song is so sweet and peaceful. Harrison spiritual mantra with John's voice!! So emotional!!
Absolutely beautiful! So emotional! What an amazing and heartfelt song! So touching! It’s such a beautiful tribute especially that a band that hasn’t been together for 60 years is still having an impact in our lives. I’m so happy that I have had the opportunity to grow up listening to them and never turned back. There is no other band that could make this kind of impact on the world. I’m so lucky to be part of their music and their creativity. I often wonder if they imagined that they would be this powerful and impact so many. The song is so beautiful and so sad.
Instant floods of tears ... so moving. After all those years to hear John's voice once more. Thank you Paul, George, Ringo and especially Yoko for helping to bring this great gift to the world. John did make it through, all because of you. I was with my family in Adelaide waiting for The Beatles' motorcade to pass by in June, 1964. I remember getting a wave from Paul. It was the largest reception held anywhere in the world for The Beatles. Paul played again here last week to great acclaim. Their music will live forever.
What a beautiful, respectful and enotional reaction. Your reaction was an exact mirror of the sentiment of the song. Peace and love.
Love my Beatles !! Thank you all involved in the making of this song. R.I.P John and George 🙏
Hello 👋 David here 😎 I been a Beatles fan and collector for over fifty years. I have the privilege of seeing the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, I was just nine years old, but I became a Beatles fan that night and still am. That Christmas my Mother gave me the Meet the Beatles Lp and I think I played it every day. Dad had gotten us a portable Stereo record player with two small speakers. I was lucky that my Mother thought to get me a Stereo Lp and it sounded fantastic on it for that time, I really liked how it sounded different in each speaker. As to the new song Now and Then I think it’s a great song, I feel it was a love song for Yoko, with a very nostalgic feel to it. I am so glad that the next generation of fans will keep the Beatles music going. I hope it is ok I thought the lady in your video is adorable and I think the Beatles would love you! ❤️
John put a note on the tape that said "for Paul." Paul believes it is for him. Giles Martin also believes it was for Paul. Literally everyone who knew John and Yoko in real life, including their neighbors, said they were toxic and horrible together; she controlled every part of his life, including phone calls, mail, diet, daily schedule. When he died he was underweight and malnourished.
Thank you for sharing your reactions... The song is hauntingly gorgeous. There's such a beautiful sadness to it.
I am head over heels, crying and smiling at same time . I am so happy and thrilled to experience the Beetles again ! Only the true sound could come from the guys that played together, I include Mr Lynne in that statement thank you forever!
I sure love hearing and seeing your reactions to this music. I was 10 years old when the Beatles first hit America. February 7, 1964. Seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show literally changed my life. He plugged me into some thing and became the background music to my life for the next decade. It’s so cool to see you guys get the music… The timelessness of it. Lennon’s death in 1980 is the first time I really understood mortality and …in a very real way… that grief never went away. So there’s a poignancy listening to Lennon’s solo voice and then the harmonic blend with Paul and Ringo’s again. I’m really happy to see how you guys get it even when you weren’t there in the mid-1960s when it all began.
I love the younger John voice mixing with Paul’s older voice emphasizing “now and then”. it’s a reminder that time marches on and every second of our lives is so precious. We need to stop our fussing and fighting, my friends, and give peace a chance! What a wonderful gift The Beatles are to us!!!
Yes! emphasizing that love transcends time, even when someone is gone, the love lasts forever.
And I love how it touches you and how you both talk about it, because that's what Beatles music can do when you enter its universe.
The beatles history is such an amzing journey and it is all about frienship and love , thats why we all got so emotional today.
It s a wonderful feeling to hear paul and john singing together for the last time
yes and as wonderful as they keep getting new fans that were born after their breakup tribute to them as a group, those of us that were there from 1964 on it s a whole diffrtrnt level of emotion , how you they and we were, Ringo was my ...first love....... I smile no one understands, lol we really were Fab
Recorded 45 years apart, with John's adult voice and Paul's old man voice, still blending as beautifully as ever. This is a love that transcends time.
Parece que fue ayer que era un niño de 6 años mirando a los Beatles cantando All You Need is Love, rodeado de mis hermanos y mi madre, ahora tengo 62 y estoy escuchando la ultima...😢
The solo finale on guitar caught in a way that I don't expected.
And Just Like That... When The World Needed Them The Most....They Came Back...
John had a unique voice that know one can come close to, this is great tribute to him that Paul has created and very moving. Love it.
This is a labor of pure love. Just what the world needs.
Awesome! I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't feel or hear the magic in this song.
couldnt agree more. just a simple sweet song with a kinda haunting melody, sometimes less is more.
John Lennon 1970s - George Harrison 1994 - Paul/Ringo 2023 - Same song.....just wow....
Just tuned in...great video. I bought the song this morning when it came out. Apple Music, of course. I love it, I mean, I really love it. I'm quite surprised just how good of a job they all did, quite impressed. I ordered the blue vinyl as well. Last Beatles' single, eh? Well, they certainly went out with a bang. All Beatles' fans should be rejoicing, but they are not. I checked out a couple of other sites and the hosts did not like it, too depressing. Like you said, there will always be "haters".......even some fans. I can actually see this song played at anniversary parties. Today is a good day for music. Think I'll go and begin listening to my Beatles' collection. Great show, people.
It’s melancholy but beautiful and absolutely appropriate. Love it.
I have seen some "bad" reviews, but then looked at the comments.
John sounds so fresh and vital in this song. The magic in this is truly wonderful...Another timeless classic from the fab four....Thank you Paul, thank you Ringo, thank you George...and thank you John.... truly 2023.....welcome back...a blessing for us all.....thank you for this heart lifting song. Who would have thought this possible...The upside of technology. Really deeply touched on so many levels....truly remarkable.
Listening to this song brings various emotions but this time around hearing it I thought of how John was taken from us too soon, so sad his life ended the way it did. His vocal on this song is typical John. He probably would have hated to hear his voice, always wanted it double tracked, but he sounds really good on this song. I'm old, got my first Beatle's single "I want to hold your hand" in 1963, now in 2023 the final single.
Both John and George were gone too soon but I get with John there was no accident, no sickness NOTH but dumb ass murder so how do you even begin to understand that . Makes me cherish the two remaining lads that much more
Me too!
Great reaction guys. I was getting teary eyed the first time I heard it today & now again with your reaction.
Salen las lágrimas como no emocionarse
Me too!!!
Immediately. His beautiful sweet voice brought to life for us again.
What a gift sweet John.
Now, in my mid-70s, one of my favourite things is to see younger people discover my generation's music. Mind you, no generation owns 'The Beatles'. They transcend time and space. Now and Then is a glorious exclamation point to the greatest band in history. I love that here, in 2023, we got the thrill and joy of another Beatles release that has hit number one with a bullet. I'm sad because this really appears to be the end now.
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make". Truer words were never spoken.
John, Paul, George and Ringo...what else is there to say but...THANK YOU.
Thank you for sharing!!! 🙏🏼❤️
It seems when Beatles songs like Come Together and Get Back were first dropping, they were hitting my little transistor radio like one a week. On first hearing I knew immediately they were great. I remember thinking how long can they keep doing this. Then they grew on you. And oh my it's 2023 and out of nowhere this drops. They're still doing it. Too awesome for words.
This is The Beatles saying 'goodbye' to all of us.
Los Beatles demuestran que el tiempo no pasa con ellos esta canción es la muestra es como si John, George hubieran estado con ellos de manera física en el estudio tocando su magia y su legado permanecerá por siempre.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I cried too….
From a 73 yr old Beatles fan from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
It is so pure, kind of haunting yet so subtle in its entirety. I felt emotsh too. Lennon's voice is so unique. Thanks Yoko, Sean, Paul, George and Ringo. The solo is George on his slide guitar ❤❤ Peace and love guys. Thanks for opening out to us. ❤
It warms my heart to see you both so moved by this. I saw the video today and sobbed. That is the magic of The Beatles. I'm so very happy for you, that you are able to experience a new song by them. This song is special because it is a love letter to Paul, George, and Ringo. It doesn't matter how it came about. I'm just glad it did and you were able to experience it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. Sending you so much Love. 💕💕💕🎸🎸🎸
A total emotional experience for me. Riveting lyrics and powerful production of such appropriate musical sounds. Very modern but very Beatles - could not be anyone else! And yes I was there for it all, I remember singing She Loves You on my way to school when it was No1
Thank you for doing this. I’m reading the Beatles Anthology book now and feel I know these guys. The book is very detailed into their lives. Great song, it’s John for sure. It’s got that Free as A Bird feel. Paul and Ringo should be proud.
When I heard it for the first time I was immediately fascinated, even if the sound is a bit more modern or contemporary. The Beatles, especially Lennon-McCartney-Harrison, simply know how to write wonderful melodies and arrange songs that touch you (longing, melancholy, nostalgia), sound fresh and are timeless. And the Lyrics... It's never just mainstream, it's always something very special. Pop music at its best and most unique. Thank you.
I grew up with the Beatles! This is special! WOW! I need to think about this. This cannot be beat! Thank you for sharing this!
This has always been one of my favourite John Lennon demos I’m glad they brought it out .. love the reaction 🎶
That young woman radiates beauty, inside and out. And the Beatles? What more can be said that hasn't already been spoken?
You two are so hip! True "Beatle People" as they used to call us.
The magical mystery tour of The Beatles began when I was just a tiny tot, seeing signs posted along the roadways saying "Who are The Beatles?" and "The Beatles are coming".
We had no idea what this meant! I told my mother, they spelled beetles wrong and besides, beetles are not who but what!
We were all mystified months before we had ever heard "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or seen The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show!
The mystery began there, continued with every appearance, every record, every event. And now, finally, the mystery ends with a most fitting song!
I'll miss them..all of them soon!
Beautiful song, beautiful review, and your heartfelt emotional reaction to it brought a tear to my eye aswell. Sending love from the UK 🙏
Timeless music. Lets take the opportunity to continue the timeless message of John and Yoko. Peace and love. We can have it if we want it.
Amazing how so many of us have tears in our eyes. What a swansong for the Beatles!
Yep, Paul Mccartney did George some real justice in mimicking his style. That was nice, simplistic, but the right way to add it.
Heard this four times now & I just realized the power of those opening lines. Because of the continuous work of the other Beatles & close collaborators John was able to "Make it through" into the future by helping John finish this song. I mean, in tandem with all of the other parallels of the title, this is just wow.
I was just in Liverpool and visited Johns childhood home on his birthday. I was in his bedroom all by myself. Very emotional. I have been a Beatles fan for 58 years.
Nos siguen haciendo felices una vez mas
Yes!!!!!! Ever!!!!!
I believe the time John recorded this song is about the time that he and Paul stopped showing animosity towards each other and rekindled their friendship. So I think he could’ve wrote this song for Paul. But also around this time John also formed a friendship with his oldest son Julian. Who during the Beatles hey day was hardly there for his son. So when John wrote this song was around a time when he was mending relationships.
@@michaeldean846 they had rekindled their friendship, sort of. John and Paul had concrete plans to work together in the UK in January 1981.
I loved your reactions. I love when someone "gets" the Beatles in their soul.
The Beatles played Ed Sullivan on my 7th birthday Feb. 9, 1964! We warched it on our little black and white television 📺!
I bought Rubbersoul in 1970 when I was 13 (!) Can you imagine? Put it on my portable stereo record player.
We grew up with A Hard Days Night, Help, Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be.
They have been the soundtrack of my life. So wonderful 💖
Happy you guys are such fans! 🎉
"Now and Then/ Love Me Do" 🕉
I was born 12/31/63. I was born into the Beatles my favorite group of all time. My little ears herd them almost every other song was a Beatles song on the radio
It brought me straight back to the day John died. I got emotional listening to this. This is so DOUBLE FANTASY type of song. Just amazing.
The fact that yoko gave them those demos says alot for me. I thought the guitar was sad also. As a girl that bought their first album at age 9,way back int the 60s, means so much to me. Melissa Ward here.
Im cryng right now. Great song, wonderful gift.
This dropped at midnight on the Australian east coast. What a way to start a day. I am old enough to have heard the first Beatle song. I have now heard the last. What a trip this has been.
Very, very emotional. Beautiful.
LOVE IT!! I prefer the AI creation of GROW OLD WITH ME but love what the remaining Beatles did here. I think Paul' 70's voice would have harmonized a bit better than what was on here but I dunno.. You could probably play a recording of John Lennon humming while sitting on the toilet and simply hearing his voice coming through the speakers again is like Heroin for Beatles fanatics like me..
Thanks for your beautiful review of a gift to the world from 4 lads from Liverpool ❤️🎶
It sounds like the 70s, the 90s and something completely different, something from the future. The Beatles are breaking new ground again.
Fab .... just FAB. 😊
I loved it staying simple, on track, and SO John .... wave after wave of melancholy ..... different from late Beatles opus which was more changed up and layered.
